21st Engineering Design eXhibition

Yeah ... perhaps it's just a lucky.
No enough preparation,
No motivation,
No idea,
No hard feeling (hehehe).
Bronze Medal, you deserve it.

To the Gold and Silver ones, Congrats.

ps. My Name is IRVING, not IRVINE.

The...Sis report (baca:Rapot)

from external examiner (Prof. Mohammad Ishak Desa)

In general, it is a good and well written thesis. The research problem addressed is non trivial and practically relevant. Substantial works have been done to address the problem. The thesis contributes to both the body of knowledge as well as to the practice. Based on hypothetical problem scenarios of a survival system, a new recovery model and its solution algorithm have been developed and tested using various case studies through experimental simulation. However, there are areas that need to be improved particularly the problem statement, the review of literature and the formatting of thesis. The statement of the problem was not explicitly expressed and the revies of literature was not geared towards supporting the problem to be addressed, the methodology and the design of the model/solution. The review is more of giving background knowledge and definitions, lack of critical analysis on the weaknesses of existing models and solutions to survivability problems. On the simulation experiments, more discussions and analysis of the various simulation results are required.

from internal examiner (Dr. Baharum B Baharuddin)

The thesis is on the development of a recovery model for survivable system through critical service resource reconfiguration.

Based on the thesis the candidate has shown competency in carrying out independent work and has made critical use of published work and source.

The strength of the thesis lies in the model developent whereby the candidate has given several scenarios and sub-scenarios. I believe that this gives credence to the originality of this work. I am also of the opinion that this thesis is worthy of publication either full or in part.

The weakness of this thesis is generally grammatical in nature and has been noted on the thesis for correction purposes.

Yeah, those were all ... for my 20 months.

and I'am still thinking a say : ' Irving, you're little bit unprofessional and that's why I advise you to take more experience before you take the next degree '.

Ya Rabb, dont let me fall into a suspicion ... (49:12).

Asus EEE PC hits (nonjok) Malaysia

Semalem iseng buka2 webnya Lowyat Plaza, eh tiba2 dikejutkan dengan sebuah link Asus EEE PC hits Malaysia, setelah membaca sekilas, langsung kutelpon pihak penyedia, untuk membuking 1 butir Si KeciL berwarna putih ini. (FYI, saya memang sdh ngebet bgt dgn ni laptop, sampai2 ikutan buking lewat pak harry sufehmi). " bla ... bla ... bla ..., OK tomorrow afternoon I'll take the bus go to KL from Perak, and c u there around evening". Fiuh ... masih juga kejatahan 1 biji.

Kubuka YM dan kukontak kawan2 yg kurasa paham mengenai Computer Chapter untuk bertanya ttg Si KeciL ini.

Berikut komentar mereka:
(DA)
- nanggung ping, nambah sithik wes iso entuk seng luweh apik,
- ngko nyesel lho ra iso nginstall macem2,
- mung 4G lho Storage-ne,
- nek ngeyel yo wes, aku iyoni wae lah,
- pokokmen NOT RECOMMENDED for IRVING.

(AS)
- kurang powerfull buatku,
- aku biasa pake yg bermemori >1Gb,
- kalo buat hadiah istri, boleh juga,
- Celeron 900 cukupkah utk matlab?

(WI)
- wah dit4ku sudah ada paket seharga tp sudah Dual Core,
- kekecilan buat kerja,
- mending cari 2nd,
- beli iPhone saja.

(OW)
- kalo jd laptop utama, saya ndak rekomen,
- lebih joss di (F)ujitsu,
- perlu pertimbangan lebih matang dlm membeli ini,
- yg lain dan ringan juga ada kok,
- tunggu taun depan sj, smoga sdh turun harganya,
- dan cm mo saya jdkan yg kedua.

begitulah review (komentar) kawan2 saya,

dan saya juga buka review di CNET, ... tetep pengin. :p

Ada komentar yg .. gimana gitu ... disitu,

Fat-fingered users will have a hard time typing long documents, or making notes at speed, but don't let that put you off--it's fine for drafting short to medium-length text.

Hihihi... jadi teringat salah satu kawan saya diatas.

Detail Lain bisa dilihat di WiKi.

FinaLLy,

I called it off this offer. And when the supplier called me this afternoon, I just can say 'Sorry'. I better wait for the next version (8G) while repairing my wife's TECRA 8000.

C U the 3Easy 8G ...
